142. Damian, terminally ill (8)
142. Damian is terminally ill (8)
“Umm… “
Eusefin has had a lot of worries recently.
One day, three guests from Damian’s mansion were suddenly brought in.
Women who are known for their good looks and outstanding abilities.
“Umm… I mean worry… I know my son is outstanding, but… The law of the empire states that you must marry only one person… “
Ha-
Eusefin let out a deep sigh of her distress.
“I think it would be nice if everyone could become my son’s wife… She said that wouldn’t work… “
Damian was engaged to the Duke of Verdium.
Only after Damien got her engaged, did she see a different side of Nadia.
It was clear that that appearance would suffocate Damien and make it difficult for him.
And then, the advantages of Bluebell and Yuri that I had not seen before came into view.
“Even though she is my son’s fiancé, Nadia is too extreme. Even when we talk, there is no middle ground. Bluebell… It’s just in the middle. She stays centered well. Except she’s vague… The glass… I’ve seen her for a long time, and it’s clear that she follows Damian well, but she’s too passive… “
In the end, to summarize.
“Ha, I can’t decide yet… It would be better to postpone Damien’s marriage… “
A situation where there is no answer.
Eusephine decided to observe the situation, and she walked towards Remy, who was sleeping soundly in his cradle.
Plump cheeks, colorful – An angel exhaling and closing his eyes.
Yosephine muttered as she touched Remy’s glutinous rice cake-like cheeks.

“Your brother is so… “You seem to be in trouble, Remy.”
“Taa… “
Remy agreed with Eusephine’s words in his sleep. Even though she was sleeping, it was a fact she had no choice but to agree to.

Lunch.
Time to gather at the table and eat together.
Nadia’s expression as she chewed the meat in her mouth did not look good.
It wasn’t always good, but today her expression was even sharper.
‘It seems like you had a conversation with your mom this morning. ‘What happened?’
You don’t seem to be in a good mood.
I thought about asking Nadia directly.
However, she felt like she would be stabbed by her sword if she asked, so she gave up right away.
‘Not now, let’s ask later.’
A bad feeling is like a mirage that comes for a moment and then disappears.
It will naturally resolve over time, so I decided to give Nadia time.
However, even as the next day passed, Nadia’s expression showed no signs of calming down.
“What’s going on… ? “What happened to you being in such a bad mood and not coming to see me?”
Nadia disappears into the distance after finishing her meal as usual.
As I was looking at her and muttering my thoughts, I heard Bluebell’s voice next to her.
“What, you don’t know why he’s in a bad mood?”
“Oh, I don’t know. “So I was going to ask you now.”
“Puhup – what do you know?”
“… “Why are you fighting again?”
Bluebell laughs at me at the news that I don’t know.
Bluebell fixed her gaze on the disappearing Nadia and spoke in a tone of regret.
“He told her mother that he was planning to get married, but she rejected it.”
“Wh, what? “How do you know more than that?”
“I asked my mother. Why is the painter in such a bad mood? And she was kind enough to tell me?”
… Were you trying to plan a wedding without me knowing?
But why did her mother refuse to marry her? Didn’t she want me to marry her?
‘… ‘What on earth is happening where I’m not around?’
I knew there was a war going on behind the mansion.
I can’t believe the situation of the war is changing so quickly every day.
Once again, I began to fear the political power of evil women.
“… “Can you please stop fighting with each other?”
“Without even knowing. You can’t get anything without fighting. And, it all happened because of you, right? “You idiot?”
“Ah- stop pressing-“
Bluebell must have been upset, so she pressed her finger to my cheek.
“Stupid Damian.”
“Who is calling someone an idiot? “It’s ridiculous.”
Bluebell continues to press my cheek.
Then, Bluebell suddenly sighed.
“Ha… So why are you going behind and giving me a hard time? “Be prepared because later you will receive everything you put in for your trouble.”
Phew-
After saying those words, Bluebell walked down the hallway and disappeared. She
Looking at the direction, it seemed like she was heading towards her mother’s room.
I don’t know what she is, but I know she’s working hard.
“Bluebell is doing that, and I can’t just watch.”
I guess I’ll have to work harder too.
I headed in the opposite direction of Bluebell.
To increase my chances of survival.
“Yuri!”
“Ugh, Damian… ?”
I found Yuri hiding in a corner of her mansion and told her my purpose.
“Let’s go to the city center for a while!”
“D-Damian… Well, that’s a date… ? You asked me out… ?”
“No, it’s not a date.”
“Well, I see…” “
Yuri looked disappointed.
Still.
“Well, even if it’s not a date, I’d like to go…” !”
Yuri nodded her head vigorously and answered.

Seeing the city center of Yeongji after a long time.
Even though I say it with my own mouth.
The development of the city center ruled by the Marquis Sinclair is more than just the duke’s domain.
This was all possible thanks to my father who believed in me.
‘It is rare for a child to invest with known information and for parents to invest again with that money.’
But, my father did.
After listening to the words of a child who was only 5 years old, we invested and got excellent results.
Even though I knew the content of the original work, I needed my father’s help to make money.
‘Because of that, he gets busy and can’t even come home… ‘
Anyway.
My father has a tight grip on the territory, and there is still a lot of potential for development.
If you ask why Yuri and I came to such a place while hiding her identity.
Of course, it is to save my life.
“D-Damian… ! This armor looks strong… !”
Cancan-!!
Yuri confidently pounded the armor with his fist.
“… “It’s Yuri.”
“Huh?”
“… “I can’t use that anymore.”
“Ah, ah… “
To check the rigidity, hit the chest of the plate armor with a fist.
There was a fist mark left there that made it hard to believe it was made by a person.
Yuri blushed at the thought of making another mistake.
“I’m sorry… Damian… I also… I’m trash… “
“It’s okay, Yuri. “We’ll apologize later, but let’s pick out the armor first.”
“Oh, I knew… Damian… “
After that.
Yuri knocked on and experimented with many armors.
Which armor is the hardest and can survive being stabbed by a sword?
As a result, he was able to find the hardest armor after destroying a total of 7 pieces of armor in the weapon shop.
“This is much stronger than the armor in the mansion. Buy this. “Good job, Yuri.”
“Heh, hehehe… ”
After stroking her head and praising her, Yuri’s mood returned.
So, after purchasing the broken armor at the weapon shop, we went out into the streets again.
The weapon shop guy last seen looked a little hurt after seeing his armor break easily.
The armor I bought was very sturdy.
“Even if you get stabbed with a knife, you will not die, and you will be able to avoid fatal injuries.”
“I think so, Damien…” However… Well, don’t do that… ! How about wearing it from now on? ?”
“Is it heavy?”
“Well, I think it’s good to just wear it… !”
… In the end, by Yuri’s hand, he was forced to wear armor on the street.
It clanks a lot, and it stands out too much.
“Well, Damian has to wear armor even when he sleeps… got it… ?”
As a result, I was subjected to strange coercion.
Anyway.
The reason I went out to the streets with Yuri today was to buy tools related to my survival.
And, having roughly achieved that goal, he was about to return to the mansion.
“Sniff-“
Yuri smelled something delicious, and her mouth began to water.
“Do you want to eat that?”
“Oh, no… ! Me, I think I’m okay… !”
Did Yuri think it looked ugly?
She quickly shook her head and hands and screamed at me no.
Children who are not used to receiving things always deceive their minds like this.
“It’s okay. You want to eat it. “Let’s go, I’ll buy it for you.”
“Thank you Damian… “
The place I was drawn to by the smell was selling fruit covered in hardened sugar.
“They sell this here too.”
What is different from Earth is that the fruits here are not cut, but are sold raw.
I thought about Yuri’s appetite, so she bought four fruit skewers and handed them to her hand.
“hehehe… Enjoy it Damian… thank you… This grace… Even if I die, I will repay you unconditionally… !”
“No, paying back even after death is a bit scary… Just eat it… “
“Well, let’s find out first… !”
Nelreum-
Yuri ate with a happy smile.
Seeing that made me smile too.
“It’s good except for wearing armor. “I have to come out sometimes.”
That moment.
Tak!
Someone grabbed my hand from behind.
I was startled, took a defensive stance, and looked back.
“Bachelor… “
There was a stooped old woman wearing a black hood, supporting her body with a stick.
Something felt strange.
Like, when faced with Nadia’s abilities.
The feeling when she looks into my eyes.
“The bachelor… “
Unable to support her own body, she muttered while holding my hand.
“I am destined to die inevitably… “
“What is that-“
“I have had too much of a hand in other people’s fates… It’s the result of erasing inevitability… “
And then, I realized.
This old woman is not an ordinary person.
This old woman knew what I had done.
“Who are you?”
“He just has a unique power…” Ordinary old man… “
Just an old man.
The old woman called herself that.
